Rek'Sai nerfs are a bit much?

Does anyone else think that maybe she does too little damage now? A couple friend and I were talking about it and we agreed that she has now been put aside for "better" junglers i.e. J4 Vi Lee etc. She has such a cool concept that it feels like such a shame to sweep her under the rug like I'm seeing happen too often...I love to play her for fun but it would be nice to see her a little more playable in ranked. I'm not saying she should be reverted to release level (Lord knows that was way too strong) but perhaps we could see a little...anything? Please share your guys' thoughts.

Her damage is fine, however there's not enough of it in the base damage compared to scaling. She can't reliably build tanky early on without sacrificing a large portion of her damage. This leaves her with two options, be tanky enough to survive while doing little to no damage, or do enough damage to be useful but melt if you're focused by the wrong people. Luckily once she gets a few items things balance out correctly.

This is at least what I've noticed while playing her, though I will say I play her top more often than jungle.
